This course is intended to develop practical skills in differential and integral calculus including their
applications to various technical problems. The basic differential rules will be introduced as well as the
methods of differentiating algebraic and transcendental functions will be developed. The definite integrals and
indefinite integrals along with its applications in finding the area will be studied.
Course Objectives
1. To classify different type of functions, approximate their limits both numerically and graphically as well
as their continuity at a point or determine the intervals of continuity.
2. To apply the concept of limits and continuity to understand the principles of differentiation and
integration.
3. To differentiate all type of functions including implicit and explicit type using different methods; apply
differentiation to determine the rate of change and maxima and minima of functions.
4. To integrate different type of functions either by using the integral table or substitution technique;
apply the definite integral to obtain the area under curves.
(CO-1) Demonstrate the ability to identify the type of a given function, approximate its
limit both numerically and graphically as well as its continuity at a given point or
determine the intervals of continuity of the function.
(CO-2) Determine the differentiability and integrability of functions using the concepts of
limits and continuity. Determine the differentiability and integrability of functions
using the concepts of limits and continuity.
(CO-3) Differentiate various types of functions comprising both the implicit and explicit
type using different methods and apply differentiation to determine the rate of
change and maxima and minima of functions.
(CO-4) Evaluate the Integrals associated with different type of functions either by using
the integral table or substitution technique; interpret the geometric meaning of
integral and apply this concept to solve geometric and physical problems, such as finding
area under curves.

Note: The instructor reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus if necessary.
1. Electronic devices e.g. cell phone, laptop, notepad, iPad, iPod, mp3, etc are strictly prohibited in the
class.
2. It is imperative that the students maintain absolute discipline in class. Students are also expected to
arrive on time for the class, as frequent late attendance will not be accepted.
3. Academic Integrity Policy: Department of Mathematics and Physics does not tolerate academic
dishonesty by its students. At minimum, students must not be involved in cheating, copyright
infringement, submitting the same work in multiple courses, significant collaboration with other
individuals outside of sanctioned group activities, and fabrications.
Students are advised that violations of the Student Integrity Code will be treated seriously, with special
attention given to repeated offences.
Please Refer to NSU Student Handbook, Sections: “Disciplinary Actions” and “Procedures and Guidelines”.
Three quizzes will be taken (best Two out of Three will be considered). NO makeup for quizzes or midterms
will be taken under any circumstances. If a student misses any of the Midterm exams due to the circumstances
beyond their control (official valid documents are required) and informed beforehand (if possible), reasonable
arrangement may be considered. There will be no extra question in the Midterm and Final exams, so that
students should have to answer all the questions given in the exam script.
Attendance Policy
Students are required and expected to attend all classes regularly and on time and participate in class discussions.
North South University mandates to fail students who are absent 25% or more from their classes, even if such
absences are excusable. It is the responsibility of the student to become aware of other course-related
announcements missed during an absence.
Please Refer to NSU Student Handbook, Section: “Study Principles and Policies”
Communication Policy
All communications should take place using the instructor’s email. Announcements in class will override any
statement made here or in any other handouts. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of any
announcements made in classes.
All members of the North South University community must use electronic communications in a responsible
manner. The University may restrict the use of its computers and network systems for electronic communications
subject to violations of university policies/codes or local laws or national laws. Also, the university reserves the
right to limit access to its networks through university-owned or other computers, and to remove or limit access
to material posted on university-owned computers.
Students at North South University have the right to pursue complaints related to faculty, staff, and other
students. The nature of the complaints may be either academic or non-academic. For more information about
the policy and processes related to this policy, you may refer to the students’ handbook.
Students with Special Needs
North South University will provide educational opportunities that ensure fair, appropriate and reasonable
accommodation to students who have disabilities/special needs that may affect their ability to participate in
course activities or meet course requirements. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact their
instructors to ensure that their needs are met. The University through its Special Need section will exert all
efforts to accommodate special needs.
